I use Unison to keep my systems in sync, and like it a lot. It's ability to keep file systems in sync when both sides are changing is its best feature (by design). Not having to worry about whether you made changes on both machines between syncs makes life a lot easier. Unison has a lot of configuration knobs, but the documentation is well-written, and once you spend some time with it, it all makes sense. I'm not sure I would have enough to say about it to merit an entire presentation. > One issue for me is propagating error.

That sounds like a job for a version control system (git, etc.). -- Paul Mullen p...@nellump.net www.nellump.net _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
